Recently I’ve undertaken a course in lay pastoral ministry. It’s part of a process of re-evaluating my place in the world. I’ve had a few major career shifts and I feel like I might be on the edge of another one. I’m hoping that this course will provide some clarity in that respect.

After a day of engaging in some very dense content, I’m actually quite drained. There was so much to take in. The content was rich and interesting. I tend to think of the audience of this blog to be largely from my library world. In the past I’ve had a mixed reaction when I’ve spoken of my spiritual/religious side. I’d really like to talk more about this but I’d want to do it in such a way that I feel safe to share that part of me. Given how drained I’m feeling I’m not sure today is the day to test what kind of reception I get to sharing stories of spirituality. I am not afraid of my faith or of sharing it but I want to pick my moment. This is not it.
